EFFINGHAM, Ill., Jan. 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Midland States Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq: MSBI) (the “Company”) today reported net income of $23.1 million, or $1.02 diluted earnings per share, for the fourth quarter of 2021, which included a $4.9 million FHLB advance prepayment fee and a $1.9 million gain on the termination of an interest rate swap. This compares to net income of $19.5 million, or $0.86 diluted earnings per share, for the third quarter of 2021. This also compares to net income of $8.3 million, or $0.36 diluted earnings per share, for the fourth quarter of 2020, which included $4.9 million in FHLB advance prepayment fees.

Jeffrey G. Ludwig, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, said, “We continue to see an acceleration of our new business development efforts driven by the more productive commercial banking teams we have built over the past year and our increased presence in higher growth markets in Northern Illinois and St. Louis. We had a record quarter of loan production, resulting in 25% annualized growth in total loans, which we were able to fund with strong inflows of noninterest-bearing deposits. The strong balance sheet growth we are seeing is driving higher levels of revenue, increased operating leverage, and an improvement in our level of profitability.

“Based on our current commercial and commercial real estate lending pipelines and improving loan demand, we expect to deliver another year of strong loan growth in 2022. We also expect to keep expense levels relatively flat compared to 2021, despite continuing to increase our technology investment in order to further improve our revenue generation capabilities and enhance client service. In 2022, we will be focused on continuing to build relationship-based commercial and commercial real estate loans funded by low-cost deposits, which we combine with a growing wealth management business that provides a large, consistent source of non-interest income. We believe the improvements we have made to our business model and operations will enable us to generate a higher level of returns and consistently increase the value of our franchise in the years ahead,” said Mr. Ludwig.

Adjusted Earnings

Financial results for the fourth quarter of 2021 were impacted by $4.9 million FHLB advance prepayment fees and a $1.9 million gain on the termination of an interest rate swap. Excluding these amounts and certain other income and expenses, adjusted earnings were $25.4 million, or $1.12 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2021, up from $19.6 million, or $0.86 per diluted share, for the prior quarter.

Financial results for the fourth quarter of 2020 were impacted by $4.9 million FHLB advance prepayment fees, a $0.6 million loss on residential mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) held-for sale, and $0.2 million in integration and acquisition expenses. Excluding these amounts and certain income items, adjusted earnings were $12.5 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2020.

A reconciliation of adjusted earnings to net income according to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) is provided in the financial tables at the end of this press release.

Net Interest Margin

Net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2021 was 3.25%, compared to 3.34% for the third quarter of 2021. The Company’s net interest margin benefits from accretion income on purchased loan portfolios, which contributed 4 and 7 basis points to net interest margin in the fourth and third quarters of 2021, respectively. Excluding the impact of accretion income, net interest margin decreased 6 basis points from the third quarter of 2021, due primarily to an increase in liquidity largely resulting from a significant increase in commercial FHA servicing deposits.

Relative to the fourth quarter of 2020, net interest margin decreased from 3.47%. Accretion income on purchased loan portfolios contributed 10 basis points to net interest margin in the fourth quarter of 2020. Excluding the impact of accretion income, net interest margin decreased 16 basis points from the fourth quarter of 2020, primarily due to an unfavorable shift in the mix of earning assets.  

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $54.3 million, an increase of 5.7% from $51.4 million for the third quarter of 2021. Excluding accretion income, net interest income increased $3.1 million from the prior quarter, which was primarily due to a higher average balance of interest-earning assets coupled with a decrease in funding costs. Accretion income associated with purchased loan portfolios totaled $0.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $1.0 million for the third quarter of 2021. PPP loan income totaled $1.6 million, including net loan origination fees of $1.4 million, in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $2.4 million, including net loan origination fees of $2.1 million, in the third quarter of 2021.

Relative to the fourth quarter of 2020, net interest income increased $0.8 million, or 1.5%. Accretion income for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $1.6 million. Excluding the impact of accretion income, net interest income increased primarily due to a decrease in funding costs.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $22.5 million, an increase of 48.7% from $15.1 million for the third quarter of 2021. Noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 2021 was positively impacted by $3.9 million in unrealized income on equity investments, a $1.9 million gain on the termination of an FHLB interest rate swap, and a $1.0 million gain on company-owned life insurance. Impairment on commercial MSRs negatively impacted noninterest income by $2.1 million and $3.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 and third quarter of 2021, respectively. Excluding the impairments, noninterest income increased 35.3% from the prior quarter.

Relative to the fourth quarter of 2020, noninterest income increased 57.1% from $14.3 million. The increase was attributable to higher levels of wealth management and interchange revenue, as well as the items mentioned above for the fourth quarter of 2021.

Wealth management revenue for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $7.2 million, unchanged from the third quarter of 2021. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2020, wealth management revenue increased 22.3%, primarily due to the increase in assets under administration over the past year and the acquisition of ATG Trust Company.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $45.8 million, compared with $41.3 million in the third quarter of 2021. Noninterest expense for the fourth quarter of 2021 included $4.9 million FHLB advance prepayment fees and $0.2 million in integration and acquisition expenses. Excluding the FHLB advance prepayment fees and integration and acquisition expenses, noninterest expense decreased by $0.4 million.

Relative to the fourth quarter of 2020, noninterest expense decreased 2.7% from $47.0 million, which included $4.9 million in FHLB advance prepayment fees and a $0.6 million loss on residential MSRs held-for-sale. Excluding FHLB advance prepayment fees and losses on residential MSRs held-for-sale, noninterest expense decreased $0.6 million, primarily due to lower salaries and employee benefits expense.

Loan Portfolio

Total loans outstanding were $5.22 billion at December 31, 2021, compared with $4.92 billion at September 30, 2021, and $5.10 billion at December 31, 2020. The increase in total loans from September 30, 2021 was primarily attributable to higher balances of commercial real estate and consumer loans, partially offset by declines in commercial FHA warehouse lines and forgiveness of PPP loans.

Equipment finance balances increased $46.2 million from September 30, 2021 to $945.3 million at December 31, 2021.  

Compared to loan balances at December 31, 2020, growth in equipment finance balances, commercial real estate, construction, and consumer loans was offset by declines in commercial FHA warehouse lines, PPP loans and residential real estate loans.

Deposits

Total deposits were $6.11 billion at December 31, 2021, compared with $5.60 billion at September 30, 2021, and $5.10 billion at December 31, 2020. The increase in total deposits from the end of the prior quarter was primarily attributable to an increase in commercial FHA servicing deposits and inflows of other commercial deposits.

Asset Quality

Nonperforming loans totaled $42.6 million, or 0.81% of total loans, at December 31, 2021, compared with $54.6 million, or 1.11% of total loans, at September 30, 2021. The decrease in nonperforming loans was primarily attributable to the payoff of two nonaccrual loans totaling $5.6 million and the charge-off of a third nonaccrual loan of $1.8 million. At December 31, 2020, nonperforming loans totaled $54.1 million, or 1.06% of total loans.

Net charge-offs for the fourth quarter of 2021 were $4.6 million, or 0.37% of average loans on an annualized basis, compared to net charge-offs of $3.0 million, or 0.25% of average loans on an annualized basis, for the third quarter of 2021, and $2.3 million, or 0.19% of average loans on an annualized basis, for the fourth quarter of 2020.  

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $0.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. No provision for credit losses on loans was recorded, due to improvements in asset quality and economic forecasts. Provisions of $0.4 million and $0.1 million were recorded for credit losses on unfunded commitments and available-for-sale securities, respectively.

The Company’s allowance for credit losses on loans was 0.98% of total loans and 119.9% of nonperforming loans at December 31, 2021, compared with 1.13% of total loans and 101.9% of nonperforming loans at September 30, 2021. Approximately 94% of the allowance for credit losses on loans at December 31, 2021 was allocated to general reserves.

At December 31, 2021, Midland States Bank and the Company exceeded all regulatory capital requirements under Basel III, and Midland States Bank met the qualifications to be a ‘‘well-capitalized’’ financial institution, as summarized in the following table:

	Bank Level Ratios as of Dec. 31, 2021	Consolidated Ratios as of Dec. 31, 2021	Minimum Regulatory Requirements (2)

2 Forward - Looking Statements. This presentation may contain forward - looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward - looking statements expressing management’s current expectations, forecasts of future events or long - te rm goals may be based upon beliefs, expectations and assumptions of Midland’s management, and are generally identifiable by the use of words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should” o r o ther similar expressions. All statements in this presentation speak only as of the date they are made, and Midland undertakes no obligation to update any statement. A number of factors, many of which are beyond the ability of Midland to control or predic t, could cause actual results to differ materially from those in its forward - looking statements including the effects of the Corona virus Disease 2019 (“COVID - 19”) pandemic, including its potential effects on the economic environment, our customers and our operations, as well as any changes to federal, state or local government laws, regulations or orders in connection with the pandemic. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward - looking statements, and undue reliance shoul d not be placed on such statements. Additional information concerning Midland and its businesses, including additional factors tha t could materially affect Midland’s financial results, are included in Midland’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commi ssi on. Use of Non - GAAP Financial Measures. This presentation may contain certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These non - GAAP financial measure s include “Adjusted Earnings,” “Adjusted Pre - Tax, Pre - Provision Income,” “Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share,” “Adjusted Return o n Average Assets,” “Adjusted Return on Average Shareholders’ Equity,” “Adjusted Return on Average Tangible Common Equity,” “Adjusted Pre - Tax, Provision Return on Average Assets,” “Efficiency Ratio,” “Tangible Common Equity to Tangible Assets,” “Tangib le Book Value Per Share,” and “Return on Average Tangible Common Equity.” The Company believes that these non - GAAP financial measures provide both management and investors a more complete understanding of the Company’s funding profile and profitability. These non - GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not a substitute for any analysis based on GAAP financ ial measures. Not all companies use the same calculation of these measures; therefore this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures as presented by other companies. Reconciliations of these non - GAAP measures are provided in the Appendix section of this presentation.
